[EVENT] Happy Halloween 2024!

Discussion in 'Empire Events' started by MoreMoople, Oct 28, 2024.

  1. Happy Halloween to all of our wonderful community members!
    Visit the Curse of the Crystal Crown event on /games
    Grab some candy at the Candy Carnival at /event


    Candy Carnival
    Explore the spooky swamp by typing /event and throw Haunted Candy at each other in EMC Halloween style.

    Throughout the Candy Carnival area, there will be mobs spawning. Don't worry, they can't hurt you! However, they have been gorging on Haunted Candy over the entire month of October and will likely drop some, if killed.

    Have a spare Haunted Head or Headless Horseman Helmet lying around from years ago? These old promos dispense the SAME candies as mobs, so you will be able to use those for the next part if you don't feel like slaughtering the inhabitants of Halloween Town.

    We have brought back our Trick-or-Treat Game! Each UNIQUE player that you TOSS a Haunted Candy to INSIDE the Halloween Candy Exchange area will earn you one point, as well as give you one candy back in return. Can't remember if you already gave candy to someone? If you've already tossed candy to that player, they won't be able to pick it up. If someone tosses a candy at you, you CAN toss a candy at them. The toss score limitations are set by the throwing player.

    Warning: You must be online in order to receive credit for your candy toss.

    There are a few special changes to the candy drop this year:
    • Every 24 hours the candy trade limits will reset and you will be able to trade with all players again, even if you traded with them previously.
    • You will still automatically receive prizes after you reach a certain number of points in the Trick-or-Treat game, such as the Haunted Head. Keep an eye out for something new this year! ;)
    • The score required to reach the maximum prize is 200.
    Don't forget that you can type /hscore to see where you stand in the rankings across the server!


    No costume? No worries! This week, you have been granted the /disguise command in town areas. You have a wide selection of monsters and animals to disguise yourself as while sharing candy with other EMC players. You will not be able to use mob disguises in any competitive areas of the server. Here are some commands you may find helpful!

    /disguise [mob_name] - shortcut /d ; leave blank to be sent a list of all mobs available to you.
    /undisguise - shortcut /und; to wear your normal skin.
    /viewselfdisguise - shortcut /viewselfd ; to hide the mob you are disguising as from yourself

    Final tip is that there are some special options you can set. Use /disguisehelp [mob_name] to learn more. Ex: "/d sheep setColor red"
    Just like previous years, monsters in the Wastelands and Frontier will occasionally drop Haunted Candy too. Don't eat too much!

  2. Curse of the Crystal Crown
    Hello adventurers,
    The EMC Archeology Initiative has another exciting project lined up for you.
    Last summer we found a mysterious crystal and traced it back to its origin. That’s where we discovered some previously unknown ruins from a long forgotten civilization.
    We want you to explore these ruins and uncover the boundless treasures within!


  3. I will note. That there are supposed to be mobs spawning in the candy trading area. A minor bug is preventing that from working properly. I've gotta... umm, Brainstorm how I want to fix that. Not tonight.

    Edit: I went and fixed the issue.
  4. My favorite holiday is here!!!! =D The build looks like fun too.. per usual for our BT. <3 Can't wait to get in there and do some exploring!

    oh yea and trade some candies too. hehe
  5. Thanks for a great halloween event :D
  6. I haven't been able to check it out yet but I know it will be lots of fun. Thank you for your efforts Build Team for the awesome creations and thank you staff and devs for keeping everything going.

    Happy Halloween!

  7. Any way to "turn off" low risk detection in /event?

    Area looks pretty cool. Thanks for releasing!
  8. Wow.. this is an absolute first (although I think RandomZH gave me the lead) <3 I've never even begun to dream of being in the list at all much less the first to reach 200 (which is the last goal). Now I'm really tired. xD

    Ok.. that's done.. now we can get to the brass tacks of it all. Moople did an A M A Z I N G job of it!! You got a ride, a dunk tank (Squeaky had a fun time with that xD ) and some other small games. If you take the ride be sure to appreciate the trees too, aside from all the other stuff to take in. Fun all around and ya get to play dress up and just hang with yer friends. Not much more needed for me.

    TY Moopies <3

    oops forgot this part. xD

  9. Hey now, she gets like most of it, but lets not forget Progryck :p (I didn't do much on the candy, I did [REDACTED])
  10. Actually I'm going to let moople take as much credit as she can, she has done most of the work on the candy trade area.
    I was actually more involved in the curse of the crystal crown event.
  11. Love it already its so much fun to play

  13. About 2 years ago.
    Halloween: "dunes of Eburu" was the first event I worked on.
  14. It was nice to BEE in this event
  15. Whoopsies! Sowy Guys!! I kinda thought Progryck had his hands way full with what he's finishing up now. :rolleyes:

    So let me rephrase myself.. The BT is fricking amazing and I love to explore all of their creative builds with this years serving to be right on par with the thought that goes into every build they create for us to enjoy. <3
